 ### Added
 
-- `net.serve` now supports web sockets in addition to normal http requests!
+- ### Web Sockets
+
+  `net` now supports web sockets for both clients and servers! <br />
+  Not that the web socket object is identical on both client and
+  server, but how you retrieve a web socket object is different.
+
+  #### Server API
+
+  The server web socket API is an extension of the existing `net.serve` function. <br />
+  This allows for serving both normal HTTP requests and web socket requests on the same port.

+- The third and optional argument of `process.spawn` is now a global type `ProcessSpawnOptions`.
 - Setting `cwd` in the options for `process.spawn` to a path starting with a tilde (`~`) will now use a path relative to the platform-specific home / user directory.
-- Added a global type `ProcessSpawnOptions` for the third and optional argument of `process.spawn`

-### Changed
-
 - `NetRequest` query parameters value has been changed to be a table of key-value pairs similar to `process.env`.
   If any query parameter is specified more than once in the request url, the value chosen will be the last one that was specified.
 - The internal http client for `net.request` now reuses headers and connections for more efficient requests.
